Control surfaces on custom planes

300 TayCo  3.4 years ago

i have seen a TON of builders somehow add control surfaces to custom wings made by fuselage blocks, but how do they do it?
i would appreciate any response!

    @WarThunderPlayer Yes. To learn more, download good looking planes that fly properly (gotta be careful, a lotta good looking planes on here fly like trash) and then take it apart to see how it works.

    "Real wings" are the wing parts, the flat, crappy looking pieces that are labelled "wing" in the menu. They're the only way to get your airplane to fly properly, but they look awful, so we build good looking "fake" wings out of fuselage parts and then we hide the "real" wings inside.

    Yes, the visible moving parts are done with rotators.

    The "real" wings are hidden inside the fuselage blocks of the visible wing. Remember to disable aircraft collision for the moving or hidden parts so nothing explodes.
